How A Leading A/V Integrator Added $24,000 to their Gross Margin

Using its patented ARS, acoustical treatment system, CinemaTech was able to increase the scope of a project, adding to the A/V Integrator’s bottom-line and enhancing the customer experience.

Background

A leading A/V Integrator was creating an expansive home cinema in which the budget for equipment was over $200,000. While the homeowner was excited about the room, there was a sense of “room for improvement”.

During a scheduled visit by CinemaTech at the A/V Integrator’s office, CinemaTech was discussing and learning about projects the client was working on, including the project with a large equipment budget. CinemaTech’s team asked how they were acoustically treating the room and learned that the proposed solution would not equal the expected impact from the equipment.

The Solution

When CinemaTech introduced the integrator to the ARS system, the integrator immediately called the homeowner to come into the office and learn about the product. CinemaTech walked the homeowner and A/V Integrator through the process of how they can achieve the maximum impact from the A/V investment; in which the thrilled client immediately put a down-payment on the project for $70,000 in additional revenue.

The Result

While the project is currently in construction, the additional commitment from the client yielded $24,000 in additional gross margin. CinemaTech’s turn-key design and install process allows the A/V Integrator to focus on other critical tasks of a home-cinema project, ensuring a enthused client outcome.

Suspending a projection screen from a very high ceiling can have its drawbacks. Accomplishing a long drop from a high ceiling typically involves adding additional fabric, called “extra drop,” at the top of the viewing surface. A lot of extra drop above the image can create flatness issues. Plus, having a big piece of black fabric blocking the view above the screen isn’t exactly aesthetically appealing.

Draper’s Ropewalker takes a different approach to solving the problem of high ceilings.

By integrating a screen and lift together in one ceiling-recessed box, the Ropewalker eliminates the need for extra black drop between the screen and tall ceilings. The viewing surface unrolls from an inner case and the entire screen is lowered to “show” position by an outer case utilizing stainless steel aircraft cables. A 34’ (10 m) vertical drop facilitates the installation of a large, electric screen high above the audience’s line of sight, making it ideal for ballrooms, gymnasiums, houses of worship, and other large venues. The viewing surface is available in both tab-tensioned and free-hanging. Safety cables with cable arresters are included that connect the inner and outer cases.


Dynaudio launches custom-install product bonanza: see it at CEDIA 2019

A new range of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, plus two new outdoor models will all be on display in Denver, Colorado this September

Danish loudspeaker legend Dynaudio will be showcasing a salvo of new products at this year’s CEDIA Expo 2019 in Denver, Colorado.

The company is taking the wraps off the Custom Performance range – a brand-new high-end slimline product family comprising in-wall and in-ceiling speakers – plus a special fire-resistant back-box and two new outdoor loudspeakers.

All these products use the same technologies and go through the same expert tuning process as Dynaudio’s legendary home, professional and in-car systems.

Dynaudio Custom Performance series

The new Performance range marks the entry-point to the award-winning Dynaudio Custom product line-up. It’s been designed for listening to high-quality audio in distributed, media-rooms and more.

Specifying Performance speakers means not having to choose between deep and shallow versions of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers: the range keeps things simple with just one depth. And that means no more compromise between performance and fit – the former is as high as ever, and the latter is right the first-time.

The rectangular in-wall speakers are a simple one-piece design that slots into place and is secured by tightening special dog-legs that grip the dry-wall. Fitting the round ceiling speakers is as easy as fitting the frame and then twisting the speaker unit in to lock it in place – no tools required.

Here’s what’s in the Performance series:

P4-W65 in-wall speaker (28mm soft-dome tweeter, 61/2 in MSP woofer)

P4-W80 in-wall speaker (28mm soft-dome tweeter, 8 in MSP woofer)

P4-C65 in-ceiling speaker (28mm soft-dome tweeter, 61/2 in MSP woofer)

P4-DVC65 in-ceiling speaker (two 28mm soft-dome tweeters, 61/2 in MSP woofer)

P4-C80 in-ceiling speaker (28mm soft-dome tweeter, 8 in MSP woofer)

P4-LCR50 in-wall LCR speaker (28mm soft-dome tweeter, two 5in woofers)

The range takes full advantage of Dynaudio’s 42 years of experience in high-end hi-fi – and has been tuned by the same experts as the company’s legendary home, professional studio and automotive products. That means premium audio – and an incredible experience, wherever it’s installed.

There is also an accompanying shallow-depth, fire-proof metal back-box. It’s packed with Morgan Superwool to provide one hour of protection, and will mount into standard 16-inch-on-centre studs.

Dynaudio Custom Outdoor

Dynaudio has also announced two outdoor speakers: the OW-6 (with a 28mm soft-dome tweeter and a 61/2 in woofer) and the OW-8 (with a 28mm tweeter and an 8in woofer). They’re available in black or white and include articulating brackets.

Both can be connected to a regular amplifier as a pair of passive 8Ω speakers, or daisy-chained on a single 70V/100V system by using the selector on the rear. This is an ideal feature for outdoor spaces or commercial applications, where you want multiple speakers creating a consistent sound level across a larger area.

The OW-6 and OW-8 are both IP65-rated (which means they’ll withstand everything but a high-pressure jet-washer), and can operate in temperatures from -33˚C – 40˚C.

Peter Gibb, Business Development Manager, Europe (CI), says: “We want to make it as easy as possible for installers to do their jobs, which is why we’ve kept our entire Custom range super-simple to specify and install. But most of all, we want their clients to have incredible sound quality to enjoy their music and films. These new products make that job even easier.”

Part of the JBL Synthesis Subwoofer series, the SSW-3 is an ultra-high performance, passive in-wall subwoofer acoustically designed to complement JBL Synthesis Custom

Loudspeaker (SCL) series as part of a complete JBL Synthesis solution. The SSW-3 features dual 10” (250mm) cast-frame, composite cone woofers, each with substantial 2.5-inch (63mm) voice coils for total system power handling of 600W RMS. The 64-inch tall enclosure is constructed of 0.75-inch MDF with heavy internal bracing. It is designed to fit 2×6-inch wood stud frame construction and is secured via ten rubber isolation mounting points, intended to help minimize sonic intrusion into the wall structure. The most striking aspect of the SSW-3 is its heavily ribbed, compression-molded baffle. This ultra-rigid baffle provides a low-resonance mounting surface for the dual 10-inch transducers. As the larger of the SSW series in-wall models, it can be paired with any of the SCL in-wall loudspeakers.

JBL Synthesis loudspeaker systems take control of your emotions and don’t let go. Leveraging leading edge acoustic technology and a pedigree than can only come from more than seven decades of leadership in sound reproduction, JBL Synthesis are among the most powerful, capable and vivid instruments in home theater and entertainment.

Séura, a leading manufacturer of outdoor TVs, and Coastal Source, the new standard in manufacturing high-performance outdoor lighting and audio, will be showcasing some of their products during a Destination Backyard event adjacent to the CEDIA Expo at the Colorado Convention Center main entrance on Thursday, September 12 and Friday, September 13.

The companies will create an outdoor oasis to give CEDIA attendees a glimpse into an extraordinary backyard party. The space will be complete with grassy areas, patio furniture, lawn games, outdoor seating spaces, canopy tents — and, of course, Séura Outdoor TVs and Coastal Source Outdoor Audio Systems. It will allow conference attendees to experience certain Séura and Coastal Source products outside and exposed to the elements for which they’re designed, while also giving expo attendees a place to get some fresh air and relax while watching TV and enjoying music. Plus, a complimentary happy hour will be served from 3:30pm-6:30pm both days of the event.

Coastal Source’s indoor booth will showcase a wide array of products in both Outdoor Audio and Outdoor Lighting.
